As an Application Support Engineer you are the front line between Dexterity's NPI and deployed physical AI applications and our customers' business-critical operations. Your mission is to keep production sites running smoothly, resolve complex software issues before they disrupt performance, and feed insights back to Engineering for continuous improvement. You'll dive deep into logs, Data driven results , and configuration states; craft work-arounds or scripted patches; and collaborate closely with the Technical Assistance Center (Tier 1), Product Support (hardware), and Engineering (Tier 3). This role is ideal for engineers who love debugging live systems, explaining technical details to non-experts, and shipping pragmatic fixes fast-all while laying the groundwork for a future move into Hardware or Software Engineering. This role requires a combination of field readiness, software debugging, data analysis, and direct collaboration with internal engineering and customer-facing teams.

  • Diagnose & Resolve Incidents - Analyze logs, telemetry, SQL/NoSQL data, and container metrics to pinpoint failures; reproduce issues in staging; craft work-arounds or scripted hot-fixes; document in ticketing system (Jira/Zendesk).
  • Proactive Monitoring - Tune alerting rules, dashboards, and anomaly-detection models; perform trend analysis to prevent outages.
  • Field Residency - Embed on customer site during go-live, major upgrades, or chronic issue hunts.
  • Knowledge & Automation - Write SOPs, runbooks, and self-service articles; contribute to CLI tools and diagnostic scripts in Python/Bash; mentor TAC on new failure modes.
  • Continuous Improvement Projects - Partner with Product and Application Engineering on feature hardening, performance tuning, and reliability improvement.
  • Own and execute NPI software commissioning at customer sites, including tooling setup, system testing, and calibration.
  • Facilitate and approve Merge Requests for P2-P3 bug fixes, ensuring timely and compliant code integration.
  • System-level Troubleshooting across Linux, networking (TCP/IP, VLANs, VPNs), containers (Docker/K8s), and cloud services (AWS/GCP/Azure).
  • Programming & Scripting - comfortable reading and writing Python, Bash, and SQL for diagnostics or small tooling.
  • Data-driven Mindset, ability to instrument, query, and visualize telemetry to inform decisions.
  • Familiarity with support tools and observability platforms (e.g., Grafana, Kibana, Foxglove, ArgoCD).
  • Aptitude for Hands-On Work in Physical-AI Environments - must be willing and able to power-cycle, jog, and calibrate super-humanoid robots on the warehouse floor; this role is not "desk-only."
  • Strong analytical and debugging skills; experience parsing logs and telemetry data.
  • Clear Communication - translate technical findings into customer-friendly language and crisp bug reports.
  • Self-starter mindset with a willingness to take ownership in ambiguous environments.
  • Bias for Action - sense of urgency in production environments; willingness to "own the ticket" until closure.
  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline (e.g., Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Robotics) or Computer Science - with demonstrable coding skills and a solid grounding in computer-science fundamentals. Equivalent practical experience is welcome.
  • 2+ years in a SaaS, DevOps, Site Reliability, or Application Support role handling customer-facing production systems.
  • Comfortable working extended hours or on-call rotations for high-severity incidents.
  • Experience supporting AI/ML inference platforms (model drift, retraining pipelines).
  • Familiarity with message queues & real-time data buses ( RESTAPI).
  • Exposure to industrial automation or warehouse management systems.
  • Knowledge of CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) and feature-flag rollouts.
  • Basic understanding of robot kinematics and perception pipelines to converse with Product Support colleagues.
